Chicago zoo has new baby gorilla

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo is celebrating the Mother's Day birth of a newborn western lowland gorilla.

Zoo officials say the male infant was born at about 2 a.m. Sunday to mother Rollie and father Kwan, who weighs in at more than 400 pounds. The newborn has no name. He'll make his public debut Wednesday when the zoo's Regenstein Center for African Apes reopens.
